    This ought to be a good one.....who is from BYC??

    I moved over here from BYC a few months ago. Love it! Who knew, a whole site with people who love gardening as much (or more) as I?! (edited because I had no idea it's been 3 months since I registered instead of 1. Time flies....)

    Reynold's Vacuum-Freezer bags
